SHIMANO SPECIALS
Shimano XT Dyna-Sys FD-M770 Front Derailleur
Shimano chose to remain with a triple crankset with their Dyna-Sys 10-speed XT group. One of the key differences was a move to a tighter chainring spread. The FD-M770-10 Deore XT Front Derailleur is made just for its 24/32/42t configuration. The cage radius and plate shapes will optimize the ...read more
Shimano Ultegra PD-6700 SL Pedals
Not surprisingly, Shimano did not make any design changes to Ultegra pedals when they upgraded the PD-6620-S SPD-SL pedal to the PD-6700s. To make changes, they'd probably have to re-vamp their entire pedal line-up. Besides, the pedal is pretty good already. The only change they made was ...read more
Shimano Ultegra BR-6700-G Brake Caliper Set
The smoky grey color is the only difference between these Ultegra BR-6700-G Brake Calipers and their standard 6700 counterparts. The 'G' in the name denotes the color. We like the darker ano, and it's a match with the Di2 Ultegra parts as well. Shimano's Servo-Wave technology is what has ...read more
Shimano PD-M647 SPD Dual Platform Pedals
Shimano calls this a racing pedal, and it's easy to see why. The resin cage surrounding the clipless spedal is larger and grippier than the M545/M424 design. The clipless pedal inside the cage is based on the latest Shimano SPD MTB iteration. Making entry easy is the 12.5-degree angle at ...read more
Shimano XTR RD-980 Rear Derailleur

Shimano XT SL-M780 Shifters
These Shimano XT Rapidfire Plus Shifters SL-M780 are XTR-esque in their appearance and, honestly, their function. They're configured to work in conjunction with Dyna-Sys rear derailleurs and 10-speed cassette. They're sleeker and lighter than the prior version of XT shifters. A majority of this ...read more
Shimano XTR FD-M985 Dyna-Sys Front Derailleur - Double

Shimano Di2 Charger Cable
This is the charger cable for Shimano's Di2 SM-BCR1 Battery Charger. And if you're running Dura-Ace or Ultegra electronic shifters and derailleurs, then this is an important piece of the puzzle. The charger does NOT come with a cable. If you're paying attention, you'll see that the cable and ...read more

This could be the best $7 you've spent on your steed. Shimano XTR Snorkels Help keep your cables cleaner, longer. XTR snorkels act as a wiper of sorts, to keep the outside out and your cables clean. Set of three.
Shimano XTR Dyna-Sys Cassette
Just when we thought the 970 XTR cassette was the nicest thing we'd seen from their Sakai City factory, along comes the CS-M980 XTR 10-Speed Cassette. The biggest difference from the last generation is that this 980 Cassette has 10 cogs rather than nine. And with the addition of the largest ...read more
Shimano Ultegra Di2 ST-6770 STI Shifters
True enough, Dura-Ace Di2 made a big splash when it was introduced. But Shimano's unveiling of Ultegra Di2 has us perhaps even more excited.

Shimano Di2 Battery
This is the one common item between all of Shimano's Di2 groups -- the Di2 SM-BTR1-67 Battery. Call it Ultegra, call it Dura-Ace, but we'll call it the one you'll need. It's a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that mounts on a bracket designed to work with bottle cage mounts. The mount stays ...read more
Shimano PD-M780 XT Race Pedals
This is the second generation of Shimano's XT branded pedals. And as usual, the workhorse XT parts get some trickledown from Shimano's flagship XTR line.

Shimano Dura-Ace FD-7900 Front Derailleur
LOL. There, we said it -- the first time ever on the Competitive Cyclist website. LOL. Why are we LOL-ing?

Shimano Ultegra Di2 RD-6770 Rear Derailleur

The XT 10-Speed Cassette uses ...read more

Shimano PD-M324 SPD Dual Platform Pedals
It's rare to see any pedal that does more than one thing. The M324 is that rarity. One side is a typical caged platform pedal, terms so old few probably understand what they mean.

Shimano XTR Dyna-Sys FC-M980 Trail Triple Crankset
Usually, new technology trickles down, but in this instance, Shimano trickled up technology from the 10-speed XT group.

Shimano XTR M988 Thru-Axle
We're big fans of 12x142mm thru-axle systems. For many full suspension designs, the extra stiffness of the thru-axle over a standard quick release provides a seat-of-the-pants difference in how the rear end behaves through heavy trail chatter or when standing hard on the pedals. This Shimano XTR ...read more
Shimano XT Dyna-Sys Front Derailleur
This Shimano XT Triple Front Derailleur FD-M780 is what we'd call a top-swing/low-clamp front derailleur.

Shimano Ultegra FD-6700-G Front Derailleur
While you may think that front derailleurs haven't changed since the days of down-tube shifters (and we'll admit that we've been among the skeptical), Shimano's 6700 Ultegra front changer is indeed different from the derailleur it's replacing, the 6600, and it is different from the Dura-Ace 7900. ...read more

Shimano XTR SM-RT98 Rotor - Centerlock

Shimano XT Bottom Bracket
Some wisenheimer will eventually ask us, "What’s the difference between the XT and XTR bottom bracket?" The answer is very little.
